    Dire. Soul bowls weren't available. No salads. Ok, supply issues and all. Had a pizza with basil........clearly a frozen, prepared job with pea shoots. Glad you get a learning experience from my £80 frozen pizzas and mini burgers.

    Met some friends here for drinks as conveniently located close to station. They ran out of Heineken, then ran out of Stella and then Asahi. We’d ordered food already, so fed up with poor service and lack of supply we cancelled the order and left! Terrible service, think there was one bar man serving as the other was running late! Charging premium prices for a mess, best close this place and start again!

    Great place to watch the F1 with a pint. They have 3 active menus so the staff struggle ordering anything (according to the staff not me). Food is very expensive for Weatherspoons quality food.

    Very poor. Came here on my own for a beer and something to eat after work. Pub was half empty but told the kitchen was overwhelmed and was only able to order a drink which I did. Then saw another customer come up and order food no problem. After asking if I could order was told that kitchen was still overwhelmed. Wouldn't like to see what it's like if it actually is busy.

    Happily admitted they put drinks prices up for World Cup games, which is fair enough. Then said every single pint on the bar was flat and had been for a few days. £7.45 for consistently flat beer in Clapham Junction feels like a bit of a joke to me.

    Popped in to see Rangers game before heading home to Scotland. Superb bar with loads of sports available in booths very close to Clapham Junction Station. Food was also excellent with friendly staff. Shout out to Dom.

    I had lunch here today and I’m still annoyed. £17 for ‘ribs and wings’. It was literally the kind that you get frozen and whack in the oven. At least the wings were. The ribs were even worse and I say without hyperbole the worst ribs I have ever had in my entire life. Looked and tasted disgusting. Hardly any sauce. Came with ‘corn on the cob’ which was a third of the size of what I consider a normal portion and also tasted disgusting. Normally I am left gnawing on the bones of a meal like this but I didn’t even finish half of it. On hindsight I should have asked for a refund, but it wasn’t like the ‘waitress’ came to ask how the meal was or anything. The worst dining experience of the last few years in terms of quality and especially for the price. Ruined my day a bit tbh

    Popped in here on a Saturday night for a flyer in between trains. Some boxing was in and the setup was pretty good with tvs at most tables. I opted for a Pride which was on keg and you just can’t compare it to the cask version. I get the compromise but sometimes you light as well not bother. Not the bar’s fault though more a Fuller’s issue. The door staff were really miserable and unwelcoming and the bar staff weren’t much better. The setup for sports was good though, but just not comparable with other pubs in the area for a beer. A generous 3/5. Don’t like the AI/third party reviews of this place either. Be careful of those! Feels quite desperate.

    I spent the afternoon there with one of my managers. I was served by a young chappie who said his name was Jake. He was exceptional. He was so hospitable and was excellent at upselling. With a few more years in the pub industry, hewill be GREAT!. He has the right attitude.

    Went to the Clapham Junction Sports Bar and Grill and ordered food for myself and a friend. The “cheesy garlic bread” was dreadful. Considering it was £4.00, I expected a lot more than x3 slices of a 40p garlic bread baguette from Aldi with cheddar thrown on top, then microwaved. I’d post a picture so you can see the comedic quality if it’d let me. Disappointed to say the least.

    Great service despite being an extremely busy. Awesome you can get your own preferred game on you own personal TV! The staff really looked after us - special mention to Valerio, Sabina & Dominic for the great table service!

    "Exceptional service! The bar exceeded my expectations with its inviting ambiance, knowledgeable staff, and an extensive selection of top-notch beverages. The barstaff were were very friendly, tee and daniella the skilled bartenders crafted exquisite cocktails, showcasing a perfect blend of creativity and precision. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or a casual drinker, this bar provides an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a sophisticated and enjoyable night out."

    Booked this brilliant place for a team event. The manager Alan and his team we’re fantastic and helped our event run smoothly. All food and drinks we pre ordered was served promptly and the hero buffet was delicious especially the cheese burger sliders!!

    Awful place. First time I was there I fell off a broken seat/high bench near the window. I hurt my arm. I told the staff, but by the time I had left they still hadn't put a warning sign up. I had to tell people not to sit there! Second time I was there was last night and as I got to the bar there was no bar staff to be seen. Eventually someone came out from siiting down in the offfice area at the end of the bar. I then ordered a coke zero, they then charged me £4.40! I asked if they were giving me a pint of coke zero, to which they replied yes. I said to them I did not order a pint and asked if that why it was £4.40? They then apologised, but by that time I had already paid for the drink. No refund was offered. Your staff need to be trained to ask if the customer would like a pint first instead of just assuming and over charging the customer.

    Great for watching sport. Food is average. Good for having beers and watching the cricket

  • 1/5 Jih B. 11 months ago on Google
    Worst sports bar & resto I have ever been…£16 for a cold katsu chicken burger and fries…and a wonderful not fresh xxxxs coleslaw portion…watching some sports with some rock music in background…delightful!

  • 5/5 Sian R. 9 months ago on Google
    Had a great time here over the weekend. Great selection of drinks, service was super friendly and the food going out looked great. Will be back again soon!

  • 2/5 Giorgio S. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok for beers and sport event. Do not order food. We ordered ‘wing roulette’ which should be random given the name. They were in order from mild to barely spicy. The chicken burger just tasted like a shop bought one with gray coleslaw as a side. Id come here for a drink again but never ever for food, its really not good.

  • 4/5 Anthony P. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall pretty decent. It wouldn't be my first choice of American food in London, but it's definitely not bad. The ribs were really soft and the chicken wings were nice and crunchy with a good marinade. The food was good value for money.

    Great place to watch the football on a Saturday down the junction. Friendly staff, good beer, and above average food

  • 3/5 Jonathan R. 2 years ago on Google
    The bar staff are excellent, regularly checking on our table and making sure we had drinks. They were very accommodating in seating us in a great position to watch the NFL and changed the channel on the big screen so we could watch in our large(ish) group. The food was well below decent standard. I ordered some wings and fries (with wings being a staple bar snack) however I don't think calling the wings overcooked quite does them justice. They were dry, hard, chewy and overall unpleasant to eat. I wasn't the only one in the group to have the same complaint. I would visit again for the staff, drinks and sport. I would not eat here though.

    Just watched England’s game against Italy. Great place to watch it. Loud speakers and good atmosphere

  • 5/5 Hannah C. 1 year ago on Google
    Came in today to watch the spurs game, might not have been the result I was after but we had a cracking time anyway! Staff were spot on, they recommended a few of the sharing plates and we got some wings as well, we'd bagged a high table and were really impressed with the amount of tvs they had. Beer selection was great and service was brilliant, they were all working their arses off but still had time to keep it personal, honestly really lovely. I think they'd benefit from a couple of extra people working so they had time to breathe though 😂 We've not been before but if todays anything to go by then we'll be back, different supporters in there but everyone was really friendly and it was loud and just a great atmosphere. Thanks for a gudden!

    Great place to watch any sport. I visited recently with a friend to watch the champions league, plenty of screens and a great atmosphere. Great selection of drinks and the food is delicious, I recommend the potato dog and wing roulette.

    Best place in London to watch a good match! Very welcoming team, excellent service and good food. The management is clearly working at its best!!!! Thank you for the warm reception! Best regards, Papa

  • 2/5 Edward F. 2 years ago on Google
    *good location but that's it* Food is pretty rubbish, like a MacDonalds but not as good and will cost you about £15. The bar is understaffed, the staff behind the bar work hard but it's clearly managed with such a pressure to keep costs down it really makes this place a bit of a dive. For example when we arrived there was one bar staff and a queue that took them over 18mins to get to us. When we told a different member of staff we had a table reservation and wanted to be seated we were told to go through the bar staff. Really bad customer service through poor management or cost saving on number of staff at the expense of everything else... I've been here twice now justas it's in a convenient location but won't be bothering again.

    Had an amazing time here! We was in London visiting family and stumbled into here! It was great! Food was so tasty, staff were lovely. Would definitely pop back couldn’t fault the atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Jamie H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very impressed with the quality of the table service. Was there from 4pm - 11pm on Six Nations super saturday and the staff were brilliant even with the bar being very busy! There are so many screens that you will not miss the action, wherever you are sat or stood. I booked a table and set up a tab, it was easy street!

  • 5/5 Joe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Came in for the last day of the six nations. What a great place to watch sport! Easy and convenient to find as its next to the station, screens everywhere so you can see the game where ever you are. We had one of the sharers for food, it was enough to feed 3 people so great value for money. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive, a big thanks to Paulina who looked after us for the day. We will definitely be back

    Live above the bar and not sure i'd bother coming back again. Waited an hour for an ice cream tacone and when i queried this with the staff, I just got told that all of the tickets get made in the order they're placed. Not even an apology. Assume this meant everyone else in the bar had also been waiting an hour...

  • 5/5 Ben M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had fantastic service here on Saturday with all staff really friendly and going above n beyond. Special shout out to Zac who opened up an hour early after an error on the booking site, when we could easily have been turned away.

  • 5/5 Ondine R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing little bar near the station. Very nice service, good beers and many screens. Really nice welcome from Zolt and perfect service!

  • 4/5 Martha “MEVA” E. 2 years ago on Google
    Another lovely visit experience. Dom was very helpful and gave recommendations on what to eat. Service was swift and respectful. Recommend to anyone passing by Clapham. Not to mention there is sports everywhere!!

    A really nice bar man gave my dog a bowl of water without asking while I was watching the Everton Spurs game today. I also appreciate him sharing his personal story about his own dog. The venue also looked great with loads of TVs showing the match at the same time.
